Jacob said seriously, “Zachary, I don’t mean to sound harsh, but you should love whatever job you take up. If you’re engaging in antique business, you must have professional ethics.”Zachary nodded and said, “Isn’t it because I just want to make some money first? It won’t be too late for me to improve my professional ethics after I make some money. After all, isn’t there a saying that one should buy the ticket after boarding the bus?”Jacob curled his lips in disdain, looked at Zachary’s stall, shook his head, and said, “Oh, you’re really going backward the more you work. I can see that every item in your stall is all fake.”“Yes, you’re right.” Zachary said diligently, “Mr. Jacob, you really have a keen eye for goods. Good things cannot escape your eyes, and the same goes for fakes.”Jacob smiled, picked up the Thunderstrike wood in the middle of the stall, looked at it carefully, and said, “But this Thunderstrike wood doesn’t seem to be fake. How much does it cost? I’ll take it a

Although the Taoist and Buddhist abbot had the same title, they had very different functions. The Buddhist abbot was one with the highest position and power in the temple and was in charge of the temple’s affairs, whereas the Taoist abbot’s main responsibility was to preach scriptures. The Taoist abbot was like the senior professor in the Taoist temple, but the person with the highest management power was the overseer. Mr. Chardon, who was wearing a Taoist robe, looked up at the gate of Cohmer Temple for a moment, then entered the gate. The entire Cohmer Temple was divided into three courtyards, namely the front, middle, and the back. Only the front yard was open to believers and pilgrims. There were several halls here, especially the Trinity Hall, which was dedicated to the Three Supreme Gods of Taoism.The middle and the back yard were the internal areas of Cohmer Temple where the abbot and disciples lived and studied Taoism.Whether it was Charlie, Mr. Chardon, the mysterious

Mr. Chardon followed the young Taoist priest to the reception hall in the middle yard of Cohmer Temple. This was the reception room in Cohmer Temple which was specially used to entertain abbots and overseers from other Taoist temples or pilgrims who had made great contributions to the Taoist temple. After asking Mr. Chardon to wait here, the young Taoist priest hurriedly ran to report this matter to his master. In Cohmer Temple, most of the people who stayed in the front yard for a long time were junior Taoist priests with relatively low qualifications, so they were tasked with maintaining order among tourists and believers in the yard while cleaning, maintaining temple statues, and sorting out tributes. Therefore, if the young Taoist priest wanted to report news to the overseer, the message had to be conveyed through layers, and the number of levels of transmission was more than the young Taoist priest had expected. Twenty minutes later, an old man in a Taoist robe who was sur

Over the years, he had returned to Oskia several times with different identities, but he had never returned to Cohmer Temple. This was because he did not want his disciples in Cohmer Temple to find out that he had discovered the way to longevity. In his opinion, he had gone through all kinds of hardships before he could finally enter the path to Taoism, so this secret must not be known to anyone who knew him, including those people at Cohmer Temple. He chose to come to Cohmer Temple today because he could not find any clues about Vera’s whereabouts after all this time. The British Lord had kept urging him to go to Aurous Hill. He could delay for three to five days but not three to five months. According to the British Lord’s temper, he would definitely give him an ultimatum in another two to three days at most, so Mr. Chardon had no choice but to find some helpers to help him uncover Vera’s whereabouts in Oskia.However, he had never built up his own power in the Qing Eliminat

Mr. Chardon nodded, sighed, and said, “I’m already a hundred and fifty-six years old this year.”“A hundred and fifty-six years old?” Samadius said with a longing look on his face, “You don’t even look like you’re fifty-six years old…”Mr. Chardon said calmly, “These are the gains after mastering Reiki. I have lived for three centuries; the nineteenth, twentieth, and the twenty-first. I will no longer have any regrets in this life if I can live to the twenty-second century.”Samadius was startled. He knelt down to the ground again and groveled before Mr. Chardon as he pleaded, “Master Coldie, please teach me the method to longevity! If you agree, I’m willing to follow you for the rest of this life and be at your disposal! I’ll abide by all your requests without any hesitation at all!”It had been more than seventy years since Samadius had entered the Taoist Sect, and at this moment, he was in the same state Mr. Chardon was when he first left Cohmer Temple. He had been practicing
The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 5560
When Mr. Chardon heard Samadius’s eager expression of sincerity, he nodded and smiled with satisfaction. Everything was developing according to the direction he had planned.As far as Mr. Chardon was concerned, he had never been a good person. Aside from working hard without complaint in front of the British Lord, he had never even reached the most basic courtesy of ‘keeping his word’ when it came to others. In fact, he thought about using Cohmer Temple’s connections and resources to find Vera’s whereabouts when he first arrived in Eastcliff, but after careful consideration, he felt that it would not be worth it to expose his true identity just to take advantage of Cohmer Temple. Not to mention whether Cohmer Temple would be able to help him find clues about Vera, but if news about a Taoist priest who was born in the 19th century and had practiced Taoism in Cohmer Temple for decades was still alive, it would inevitably bring him unnecessary trouble once word about this matter spre

After saying that, Samadius asked again, “Master Coldie, do you have any general clues about this girl? For example, where she might be?”Mr. Chardon shook his head and said, “I don’t know where she is, but I personally speculate that she is most likely in Oskia. Therefore, it would be best if you could gather a group of your disciples and let them travel all over the country to search for her!”Samadius nodded and said, “No problem, I’ll make all the arrangements now!”Mr. Chardon nodded slightly and said, “Okay, I’ll leave this matter to you, then. Remember to inform me as soon as possible as soon as you discover any clues.”“Yes, Master Coldie!” Samadius quickly agreed. He then asked Mr. Chardon, “By the way, Master Coldie, the people waiting outside are all my juniors. If you can teach me the method for longevity in the future, can you share the method with them as well? They are all loyal disciples of Cohmer Temple, and they have devoted themselves to Cohmer Temple for so many

Mr. Chardon glanced at Samadius, who stepped forward immediately and said in an unquestionable tone, “Ferris, Mr. Chardon has something important to do, so no one is allowed to interfere or delay him! Mr. Chardon already told me what you want to know about, and I will convey everything to you word for word later!”After saying that, he warned, “But let me say something in advance. If anyone delays Mr. Chardon’s important matter, that person will not have a chance to pry into the method to longevity!”Everyone had grave expressions on their faces, and no one dared to ask any more questions. Ferris, who was called by name, was flustered as well and said, “Have a safe trip, Mr. Chardon!”Everyone reacted immediately and said in unison, “Goodbye, Mr. Chardon!”Mr. Chardon stroked his long beard and walked away gracefully. Just as everyone was about to come out to see him off, Mr. Chardon said without looking back, “Everyone, just stay put. There is no need to see me off.”After Mr.

Ramond replied, "I'm not planning on getting my name out there—I was just thinking I could start slow from one shop, but now, I'm suddenly so popular everyone's consulting me for appraisals, so I guess that's the short end of this."Either way, I'm planning to let things cool off by opening the shop late and closing early. That way, I'd receive fewer customers, and the hype will die down in a month."Once it does, I'll lead a slow life, which is perfect in Aurous Hill since it's how things are here. I'm not aiming to get rich or expand my business, and it's a comfortable life, so I plan to retire here."Charlie nodded. "The Rothschilds are relatively manageable, but I'm not sure if the Qing Eliminating Society is still looking for you and the Four-Sided Treasure Tower. You'll be completely free once they are wiped out.""And I'm sure with your abilities, Mr. Wade, that day will soon arrive." Raymond smiled and soon remembered. "By the way, you probably haven't had dinner yet, right

Charlie was never one who covered up misdeeds, and what Jacob had done reflected his corrupted character and clear refusal to feel remorse.As such, Charlie naturally refused to offer any help, completely giving up and allowing Jacob to keep going off on his own tangent, tearing himself apart in the process.Still, Raymond did put a good word in for Jacob. "Actually, one can understand Mr. Wilson's motives from a certain point of view. I was the one who set him up so that he broke that vase, and had him beaten up so that we didn't arouse suspicion. He has every reason to bear a grudge."Charlie sighed, nodding. "There's no issue with holding a grudge or getting revenge—in fact, I have no problem with him trying to salvage some pride. However, what he did was unseemly, and he doesn't know when to stop."He didn't lose anything before Zachary exposed everything. Even if he had missed a killer deal, he bought it off someone's hand in the first place and made two hundred grand in clean

With those words, Jacob didn't wait any further as he turned and left Antique Street, intent on seeking legal counsel.Raymond watched him leave before returning to Treasure Measure.He wasn't going to leave, but he had said so because he didn't want to waste much time with Jacob.Still, to avoid any trouble, he turned the sign outside to 'closed' before locking the door from the inside.That was when a man suddenly arrived, asking through the glass door, "Can I still take a look inside, sir?"Raymond was ready to refuse without even turning around when he realized that it was Charlie.He turned around and saw him standing outside just as expected.Smiling, he hurried over to open the door for him. "It's been a while, Mr. Wade!"Charlie was aware that Raymond was sticking to his identity of 'Raymond Cole' who had not been in touch since Raymond had been fired from Vintage Deluxe.Charlie chuckled in turn. "It has indeed. And you're a business owner yourself now, too.""It's j

Jacob zipped toward Raymond, his attitude immediately subservient, "I'm sure you've seen what Zachary Evans posted on his Twitter page, and to be honest, it's so terrible that my position in the Calligraphy and Painting Association has been affected too. I mean, you've made a lot of money, right?"Hell, even if you donated ten million, you'd still have another ten million and 970 thousand in net profits. So, all I'd like to ask is for you to post something to disclaim Zachary's post.Jacob's words left Raymond in thought.For Jacob, just being suspected of fraud would definitely be terrible. In fact, his position in the Calligraphy and Painting Association would definitely be threatened—if not dismissed altogether—if he wasn't cleared of suspicion.Since Jacob was Charlie Wade's father-in-law, Raymond had reason not to drive Jacob over the brink.But that also begged another question—it must be under Charlie's intention for Zachary to post his confession, and that meant Charlie in

Raymond couldn't help chuckling just as Jacob finished—he had honestly never heard of anyone who demanded a refund after donating to charity, but he was certainly seeing one now.Still, the receptionist was clearly experienced and slowly explained, "Sir, it's a legal clause of the country that all donations for philanthropy purposes can not be refunded under most circumstances—""It truly was a mistake," Jacob quickly said, cutting the receptionist off. "I was going to donate thirty thousand but pressed an extra zero by mistake. Please discuss this with your management—you just have to refund 27 thousand, see?""Sorry, sir," the receptionist apologized. "But it's a strict rule that we ourselves do not get to access the funds that have been donated into our accounts. Every donation will be screened extensively, and if you consider that there was a major oversight on your part, you may seek legal counsel to appeal for a refund. If the courts back your appeal, our organization will the

Nonetheless, Jacob darted into Treasure Measure and plucked off his mask, asking nervously, "Excuse me, Mr. Cole? It's me… Jacob Wilson…"Raymond looked up, pausing for a moment before acting as if he was actually curious, "Mr. Wilson! What brings you here? Don't tell me—you want that bronze sculpture back too?""No, no, no…" Jacob quickly shook his head. "I would never… I returned all the way from Dubai to apologize!""Apologize?" Raymond smiled faintly, and he did not play dumb this time as he asked bluntly, "Did you come back because of Zachary Evan's post?"Knowing he couldn't deny it any longer, Jacob nodded, "Yeah…"Raymond nodded and said calmly, "That's unnecessary. I was the one who benefited in the end."Jacob wasn't quite keeping up—thinking that Raymond was just trying to be nice by telling him he didn't have to apologize, he quickly pulled out his phone.Tapping on it and bringing up his transaction records, he handed it to Raymond reverently, "Mr. Cole, I understan

The cabbie chuckled. "You're a local yet you're heading to Antique Street right away as soon as you land instead of going home? And you're still saying you're not trying to pick up a killer bargain deal?"Come on, man—it's not just you, I want that too. We cabbies work ourselves to death only for ten thousand per month at best while our friend over there made twenty million in one night. I could keep driving cabs for the rest of my life and still not make that much money."Jacob knew that the cabbie must be talking about Raymond and became even more miserable then, grumbling unhappily, "I'm going to Antique Street for business—I'm not trying to pick up some missed bargain.""No? Then you didn't hear what happened yesterday?"The cabbie was immediately curious, and without waiting for Jacob's answer, he exclaimed happily, "Look, man—it was so ridiculous not even Hollywood would put it in their script. There were these fools who were trying to sell an antique trader a replica, but th

It was nighttime in Dubai as Jacob dragged his weary body from the hotel back to the airport.As he was flying economy this time, he was left sitting at the hard bench near the boarding terminal, waiting for it to open.While he waited, his heart was torn as he tapped into the website of the Aurous Hill Charity Fund, found their donation account, and wired the entire 300 thousand he had made over to them.He had picked the Aurous Hill Charity Fund because the circles of antique collectors in Aurous Hill were all discussing how Raymond had donated half of the 20 million he had made to that same charity fund.After Raymond skyrocketed to prominence in Antique Street and became a star, it could not be denied that people admired his profound ability.However, there were also people who envied his skill in turning the tables just as there were those who were jealous he had made twenty million in a single night.Still, Raymond moved fast—soon after word spread that he had made twenty m

Elaine quickly asked, "Well, what if you can't get it done?"Jacob was apprehensive even as he sighed. "If they really pressed the issue, guess I can't even stay at the Calligraphy and Painting Association now… We will see. If things get bad, I'll just resign. I won't ask for much right now, just as long as I don't have to go to jail."Elaine nodded. "Then you should try to reason things out with Raymond Cole or ask for Charlie's help if push comes to shove. Being humiliated is still better than prison.""Okay!"-It was nighttime at Aurous Hill by the time Elaine and Jacob arrived at their hotel.Charlie and Claire had just had dinner, and Claire pulled out her phone, saying, "I just checked my flight app, and it says my parents should have landed two hours ago. They are probably at the hotel, so I'll check in on them with a video call."She had yet to open her WhatsApp when Elaine called her on a video call.Jacob was planning to check in with Claire and Charlie to put their
